Swiss artist Nemo advances to Eurovision final

Switzerland has reached the final of the Eurovision Song Contest for the fifth time in a row. Nemo won over the audience in Malmö, Sweden, on Thursday evening with a performance of "The Code". With Nemo advancing to the final, Switzerland has a chance to win the Eurovision Song Contest for a third time on Saturday. Nemo competed against 15 other acts, with ten advancing. Nemo's entry into the final is hardly surprising. The Swiss act is one of the contest favourites, leading in the betting offices for weeks until Croatia overtook Switzerland last week. The song "The Code" by the 24-year-old non-binary musical talent is about Nemo's journey, which began with the realisation that they were neither a man nor a woman. Musically, "The Code" ranges from rap to drum 'n' bass to opera. Switzerland previously won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1956 with Lys Assia and in 1988 with Céline Dion. + Switzerland at Eurovision: the colourful hits and misses Israel also makes it to final The most ...
